    well, id say against so. ebay sells quite a bit of them, theyre mostly spyder and dash headlights. plenty of issues with halos going out, fitment being terrible (bouncing and not sitting flush) and overall just crappy quality.

    better off getting a projector retrofit w/ halos on the shrouds. good quality ones.

    Im sorry but I will never spend that much on headlights. To each their own but I am just happy with my stock headlights, clear corners, with Silverstar Ultra headlights and silverstar fogs. They light up the road just fine for me.

    Why not you just spent $100 on halogen bulbs that sukx and will last 1/10 as long as hid bulbs.

    My 2 cents.

    I've had both stock, and Spyder Projectors.
    The spyders bounce, unless fixed (foam, rubber, and frustration)
    They are a ***** to aim.
    Tabs tabs break easily, if you over tighten the bolts.
    The cutoff sucks.

    But they do looks pretty snazzy!

    Im going to be going back to stock headlights with HID bulbs, so I can blind everyone.
    (I have HID's in my projectors, and fog-lights atm)

    Also, everyone should get HID Fog lights, they ****ing rock. 10Bajillion times better than Siverstar ultra fogs, and the same price too.

    Stock housing, nasty and...no pun intended, all fogged up, and they are still ****ing bright, and really really add a lot of useable light.

    And Kwazrollin, I already have someone who wants me to hold the headlights for them, thanks though.

    What wattage are you using in the stock for light housing?
    You aren't having any melting problems?
    That is good to know

    35w, Had them on for a 9hour road trip, lens got warm, never hot. Been of for a few months now, no warping, no melting, nothing. Lens seems to be holding up plenty fine.

    Excellent, I always shied away from HID's in the fogs cause I always head they would melt
    I guess the melting was caused by 55w not the 35w
    Thanks dude
